      Thanks for posting that – 16 minutes well worth it .
      As a lapsed criminologist – a 55% increase – year on year in traffic fatalities – `June 2019 / 2020 – is one of those WTF? Things – but when reminded that it was the time when a coloured criminal was killed by an uncontrolled white plod – with a subsequent withdrawal of street policing – it does make sense .
      Of the additional ( coloured ) deaths from road accidents – I wonder what the more detailed demographic might be ? Eg male coloured age range 18 – 30?

      It does show that American woke democratic law enforcement is in big trouble – leading to even more coloured folk as victims …

    Over the last few years, Scotland has had more of a
    say in how our country is governed – with new powers
    being devolved which the SNP fought long and hard for.
    We’ve used these powers to make better decisions on
    issues like social security – and protect people from
    some of the worst Tory policies. The Scottish Child
    Payment – support that is not replicated anywhere else
    in the UK – is evidence of that.
    If we have been able to use limited powers to make a
    difference, it stands to reason that we could do even
    more to help people and build a better, fairer country
    with the full powers of independence. That’s why
    we intend to give the people of Scotland the right to
    choose the country’s future.
    In the meantime, the SNP will do everything possible
    to help in these tough times. We will use every
    power and all the resources at our disposal to build
    a better Scotland.
    Scotland must use its voice to demand that a deeply
    out of touch Tory government takes real action now
    on the cost-of-living crisis – 5 May is Scotland’s
    opportunity to demand real support for families and
    communities the length and breadth of the country

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-61182893

    That is the clear choice facing the people of Scotland
    on 5 May.
    Make sure your voice is heard.
    Vote SNP on 5 May.

    State of education the biggest example of failure of Scottish devolution – Brian Monteith
    There is no bigger example of the failure of Scottish devolution than the current state of education across our schools.

    Nicola Sturgeon has defended plans to cut the bottom off some school classroom doors to improve ventilation as “basic common sense”.

    Councils have been given £5m of funding to improve air flow in around 2,000 classrooms to slow the spread of Covid.

    As well as installing filters and fans, £300,000 was earmarked to “undercut” doors to improve airflow.

    Opposition parties said it was a “lazy solution” which could raise safety concerns, including from risk of fire.
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-60246163

    Mr Ross said he had been contacted by a retired firefighter who said doors in schools were “essential for holding back heat and smoke”, questioning whether the fire service had been consulted.

    Ms Sturgeon said this was “an absurd line of questioning”, accusing opposition parties of taking an “infantile approach”.

    Another comment on the Mail taken down for criticising a Left Wing world leader.
    Once for Justin Trudeau and now for Angela Merkel with a comment which called for an inquirey into her pro Russian policies and whether there was any hint of treason behind them. along with some supporting evidence.

    It’s very rare to have a comment removed like this, but to find that two criticising left wing world government leaders is rather sinister.

      “… and mould all Europe into a copy of Germany …. a good place to start is to ditch the easy historical comparison (ignore history and you will repeat it) …@1:06 because Angela Merkel is a figure of our here and now and it’s vital to understand her better because she (Merkel) matters more to our future (UK) than, what, 95% of British Politicians.” – BBC’s Andrew Marr 2013

      @Thoughtful No one will take any notice
      but if you screenshot it, then than proves you did make a comment
      and you can tweet the screenshot to MailOnline and that might embarrass them.

      I’ve mused here before if merkel was the number 1 Russian ‘spy ‘ / employee in Europe – but I listened to a current kraut politician failing to explain the kraut reluctance to support NATO / Ukraine and concluded merkel left a lot of Russian ‘sympathisers ‘ in place …
      Naturally the BBC hasn’t a bad word to say about merkel – which strengthens my case …

    Not difficult to imagine the BBC’s little fact checker reacting similarly – is it?

    Princess is getting ratio-ed just a tad 🙂

    What’s pretty amazing really is that all @LibsofTikTok did was to hold up a mirror !

    Censored by the BBC

    Cardiologist Professor Peter McCullough says that if every triple vaccinated pilot were to be screened, there would be somewhere around a 30 percent loss in manpower: https://amgreatness.com/2022/04/21/cardiologist-says-30-percent-of-vaccinated-pilots-would-fail-health-screenings-due-to-vaccine-injuries/.

    There is also an estimated 30 percent loss in manpower due to pilots being banned for not getting vaccinated: https://www.flyertalk.com/articles/pilots-union-asks-for-exemption-to-mandatory-vaccine-rules.html

    So 30 percent of Pilots are banned and 30 percent are dying off. Leaving only 40 percent left by next year.

      Trump’s statement about Piers Morgan
      “.. If I did what @PiersMorgan did in his fake interview with me,
      rigging and redoing my words, and then making it sound like I walked out of an interview..

      I never walked out of my interviews with him, he’s easy, but he tried to make it look like I did.
      .. Piers got caught red-handed, and the interview that I rather enjoyed doing is now in shambles.
      I especially enjoyed talking about the 2020 Presidential Election Fraud and his big mistake on the way he walked off his show when the “weatherman” made him look like a fool.

      Unlike others, I don’t believe Piers is a complete slimeball, but he lost a lot of credibility.
      Interestingly, many of the Fake News Media outlets are covering his mistake.”

      Full text
      If I did what Piers Morgan did in his fake interview with me,
      rigging and redoing my words, and then making it sound like I walked out of an interview,
      the failed gubernatorial candidate and Radical Left Racist, Attorney General of New York State, Letitia James, would start an immediate investigation and demand the re-institution of the death penalty,
      or whatever may be worse than that.
      Piers got caught red-handed,
      and the interview that I rather enjoyed doing is now in shambles.
      I especially enjoyed talking about the 2020 Presidential Election Fraud
      and his big mistake on the way he walked off his show when the “weatherman” made him look like a fool.
      I never walked out of my interviews with him, he’s easy, but he tried to make it look like I did.
      Unlike others, I don’t believe Piers is a complete slimeball,
      but he lost a lot of credibility. Interestingly, many of the Fake News Media outlets are covering his mistake.
      They view it as potentially fraudulent, and so do I.
      Piers is off to a bad start, but thanks to me, he may get a final burst of big ratings before it all comes crashing down      ”
